Wonderful!!! - This excursion is highly recommended! The island of Contoy is fantastically beautiful and you have absolute peace. The food was super delicious! Isla Mujeres is an absolute tourist island and the total opposite of Isla Contoy. Lots of people, lots of hustle and bustle! Those who like it are right there. Snorkeling was not possible due to the unsettled sea, unfortunately! Anette (guide) was absolutely superb. She explained us a lot and gave us tips for our stay on the two islands.

Wonderful! - Excursion Isla Contoy then Isla Mujeres, two paradise islands, very different.
The weather was amazing, and this day was magical! We've taken a lot of it!
Thanks to Silvana and Xenia, our adorable guides, who are simply two rays of sun!

Paradise on Earth - Stunning tour, Contoy Island is pure paradise. Because the sea was scrambled we could not perform the snorkeling activity, so we were left more free time on Isla Contoy enjoying nature and the beach. The guides great, there was no shortage of drink on the boat back and forth, and the food on the island made by the captain also very well. It is very worthwhile and highly recommended.

Isla contoy and isla mujeres - Isla rubs shoulders with an island with beautiful views and very quiet. Not enough time in the water for snorkeling.
Isla mujeres, too touristy for my taste, a lot of people and vendors kiosks a little harassing.

Isla Contoy Top, Isla Mujeres Flop. - Isla Contoy is a stunning island and absolutely worth a visit. The beach is paradise and invites you to linger while the food tastes really great. However, you have to prepare for a big challenge: the mosquitoes. These were really unbearable during the tour of the museum and the dune – I have never experienced anything like this! My partner and I had about 20 stitches each, so I would definitely skip the lead. Fortunately, it was mosquito-free on the beach itself, so you can relax there undisturbed. Unfortunately, the snorkeling was cancelled due to the strong swell, which was a shame.
Our guide Anette was initially quite strict on the bus, which depressed the mood a bit. Later she relaxed, which made the trip more relaxed. A slightly relaxed start would certainly have made the morning more pleasant.
Isla Mujeres, on the other hand, was an absolute disappointment. The island is completely built-in, looks artificial and is aimed exclusively at tourists. Every few meters, you're approached pensively, and it seems like everyone wants to slap you over the ear. Souvenir prices were also absurdly high. After the relaxed experience on Isla Contoy, Isla Mujeres seemed almost the opposite – absolutely stressful and not recommended at all.
The transfer was well organized, however, and the snacks offered were also satisfactory.
